The fifth annual History Center gala is fast approach-

ing. The gala will again be held at COOK World

Headquarters, as it has been for the previous three

years. The proceeds from this years gala will support

the initiative of having meaningful and enjoyable inter-

active exhibits installed in our Henry & Cecilia Wahl

Gateway Gallery and the Gayle Cook Permanent Gallery. The new exhibits will

give patrons and visitors the opportunity to touch and experience history in a

meaningful way.

We will be holding a silent auction again this year with a

new and exciting addition to the regular routine, a Wall

of Wine. The Wall of Wine will contain bottles of red

and white wine, graciously donated by board members,

small business owner’s, members of the History Center

and local eateries, that you will only be able to see the

bottom of. You simply give a minimum donation of $10.00 and choose your

bottle from the wall. You may walk away with a $10.00 bottle of wine or a

$100.00+ vintage bottle.

This year we welcome guest speaker Professor Glenn Gass, provost professor of

music at Indiana University, Jacobs School of Music. Professor Gass, affection-

ately known as the “Professor of Rock and Roll” by his

students, has an impressive background in music, cur-

rently teaching courses on the history of rock and roll

and popular music. Professor Gass is the recipient of

the Herman B Wells Lifetime Achievement Award, the

Indiana University Sylvia Bowman Distinguished Teach-

ing Award, the IU Student Alumni Association Student

Choice Award, the Society of Professional Jour-

nalists Brown Derby Award, and other teaching awards

and honors. Professor Gass will present a history of the Beatles.

We hope you will join us for an enjoyable evening.

stores, which offered a limited selection of high-demand items at attractive discounts. The Kresge presence in Bloomington reflected this trend. In 1931, Kresge opened a second, more “upscale” (5¢ to $1) downtown store at 109 N. College. This address retained the Kresge name from 1931 until 1965, when it appeared in the Blooming-ton city directory as the Jupiter Store. By 1969, the for-mer Kresge space at 101–103 N. College was vacant, and 109 N. College bore the combined name “Jupiter Store (Kresge’s).” Bloomington’s first Kmart opened in 1971 at 3216 East Third Street (near the newly developed College Mall). In 1986, 109 N. College was taken over by J. L. Waters, marking the end of a sixty-year run for the Kresge Company on the west side of the square.

What happened to the Kresge Building after the Kresge Company moved out? City directories list the House of Fabric at 101–103 N. College in 1970–74, followed by Monique Fabrics in 1975–86. Howard’s Bookstore is listed from 1987 until it moved to the south side of the square, and Talbot’s opened in the Kresge Building in January 1993. Talbot’s is now gone, but the building with the Kresge name carved in limestone remains. At the time of this writing, one wonders: What’s next for this downtown landmark?

The cemetery has experi-enced damage and loss of gravestones over the years. The markers for neither Eleanor Dunn nor Nancy Alexander can be found. There is occasional vandal-ism. In July 2008, two gravestones were broken off and stolen. More re-cently, in September 2010, five gravestones were tipped over. In neither case were the culprits identified. Indiana University re-stored the damage in each case, even though it does not own the property.

Nature provided its own

vandalism on 23 May

2011, when a severe

thunderstorm with

strong winds downed

the large tree in the

middle of the cemetery.

Fortunately, it missed

all of the gravestones.

Dunn Cemetery’s oldest

grave marker still

stands, that of seven-

teen-year-old Jennet

Seward, who was buried

in 1814—two years before Indiana became a state, and four

years before Bloomington was founded. The grave and ceme-

tery are probably the oldest in Monroe County.

New in the Library

It’s a new year, and the Genealogy Library welcomes the following new and very recent volunteers: Leah Bowman, Ted Brackemyre, Lisa Denlinger, Matt Newton, Molly Richmer, Krista Timney, and Rhonda Wathen. The Genealogy Library now has sets of full-color 11"x17" Sanborn maps for Bloomington and Ellettsville. These bright, detailed maps transport you back to turn-of-the-century streets. Sanborn maps are an excellent resource for researching properties and determining the prior use of buildings. The maps were recently made publicly acces-sible by the Herman B Wells Library Map Collection at Indiana University. Library users may request individual sheets printed in full color for $1.50 per page. Library volunteers are back to filing newspaper clippings from the early twentieth century. Take a peek at our card catalog drawers and see if we have added a news piece about one of your ancestors.

Oral History Project—Your Help Needed

Can you answer the question: How have you witnessed a community in Monroe County change in your lifetime? Spring interns Matt Cesnik, Shannon Silva, and Emily

Winters are conducting oral histories on the topic of change. If you or someone you know would like to be in-terviewed about your memories of a local town, school, church, factory, or any other definition of a community, please contact the Genealogy Library (email: genealo-gy@monroehistory.org or telephone: 812-332-2517 ext. 4).

Partnering and Collaboration

All of us familiar with the Historical Society and History Center know the

different areas of operation: exhibit galleries, Genealogy and Research

Library, Museum Store, educational programs and the preservation of

our local history. An important part of our success is the ongoing pro-

grams of partnership and collaboration that occur on a daily basis with

many organizations.

Here are a few examples of the collaborations taking place:

~The History Center is a grant partner with the Monroe County Public

Library in gathering information on the bedrock (limestone) industries,

the Civil War, and collections of Smithville newspaper. The Mathers Mu-

seum and MCHC are able to conduct tours and provide transportation for

MCCSC students as part a Wahl Family Grant for transportation. These

tours meet Indiana academic standards.

~The Community Voices Gallery provides designated space for our city

and county organizations to tell their story through displays, videos and

exhibits.

~Collaboration with Indiana University provides intern experiences and

projects for student groups. This semester we have 16 interns gaining

hands-on experience in different areas of the History Center, supervised

by staff. Student projects in oral histories, in-

formation technology, and marketing act as a

catalyst for operational improvements.

~We routinely do “call outs” to the community

asking to borrow objects for Exhibit displays.

This is happening with the upcoming Quilt

Exhibit in early March.

~We are working with others in the community

to collaborate on oral histories and having a

central repository for the histories.

~We collaborate with all other museums in the county on various pro-

jects via the Alliance of Bloomington Museums.

What’s Next for the Kresge Building?

By Penelope Mathiesen

P a g e 4

Continued on Page 7

Talbots, the women’s clothing store at the northwest corner of Kirkwood and College on Bloom-ington’s downtown square, closed in 2011 after 18 years of operation. It occupied a limestone building designed in Classical Revival style, with limestone urns on the top corners of the facade and the “Kresge” name carved above the central pair of second-story win-dows.

Based on local history sources, the Kresge Building was probably constructed at 101–103 North College about 1926. Other businesses are listed at that location in Bloomington’s 1925 city directory, while a photograph with the date “1926” on the back shows the S. S. Kresge 5-10-25¢ Store with signs in the windows that say “Open,” “Opening Day,” and “Peanuts.” In the photo-graph, a portion of The Fair Store can be glimpsed to the right of the Kresge Building. City directories list The Fair Store at 105 N. College in 1925 and 1927 (when Kresge is first listed), but it is gone by 1929. On the 1927 Sanborn fire insurance map for Bloomington, a large building occupies the spaces at 101–103 N. College, with additional retail space in the basement opening onto the sloping sidewalk along West Kirkwood. The building has a slightly different footprint than the struc-ture that occupies the same space on the previous Sanborn map (1913), suggesting that new construction has taken place. Structural details on the 1927 map state that the building has a “steel frame” and is “stone-faced.”

The Kresge Building’s limestone exterior may have sparked a trend. Three other buildings in the same half-block on the west side of the square (105, 107, and 109

N. College) were transformed with Art Deco-style lime-stone facades around 1930. Perhaps this was in part due to a rebuilding effort in the aftermath of a fire on 7 January 1929, which started in the building occupied by Hooks Drugstore (105 N. College) and spread to the businesses on either side (Kresge, 101–103; and The Eagle Store, 107) before it was put out. In any case, the limestone facades provided a unified architectural effect for this half-block, echoed by the appearance of a new J. C. Penney store with an Art Deco limestone facade north of the alley in 1931.

The S. S. Kresge Company, based in Detroit and found-ed in 1911, was one of several large variety chains that came into being around the start of the twentieth centu-ry. (Others included S. H. Kress, J. J. Newberry, and F. W. Woolworth.) They catered to general shopping needs (basic clothing, housewares, linens, school sup-plies, shoes, toys, etc.) and usually occupied downtown locations that often included a snack or lunch counter. Long-time residents of Bloomington remember Kresge’s for its hot nuts, snack bar, and opportunities for frugal shopping on a limited budget.

When the variety store model declined over the years, the Kresge Company started planning for a transition to the discount store business. It eventually launched the Kmart line in 1961. As an interim measure, many of the older Kresge locations were converted to “Jupiter”

As you walk along the east side of the Indiana Memorial Union on the Indiana University campus, there is a private cemetery nestled between the Union and the creek, now called Jordan River, but originally called “Spanker’s Branch.” Beck Chapel, in the background of the accompa-nying photo-graph, is on the cemetery’s southern edge.

In the north-west corner of the cemetery is a monument with the inscription: “This ground was deeded by George G. Dunn for perpetual use as a cemetery. See Deed Record ‘R’ Monroe Co page 222.” Dunn deeded the property on 21 November 1855. The document has some interesting and even poetic language, opening with:

“In order to Secure and perpetuate to the decendants [sic] of Eleanor Dunn, Nancy Alexander, and Jane Irvin who lie buried within the plot of ground hereinafter described and to those with whom they may intermarry forever a place of private burial where they Shall repose together as one fam-ily in the long night of death and rise up together as from one bed at the last day.”

Dunn goes on to specify the cemetery’s exclusive purpose, permitting “…all desirable monuments & improvements & ornaments Suitable to such a place….” After the legal de-scription of the cemetery’s land, Dunn concludes by stipu-lating “…no unnecessary harm or damage thereto & it is further provided that no graves Shall ever be placed herein-after West of a line cutting the corner Stones …” He finally provided for “…walks [&] ornamental trees & a dead house if one Should ever be desired.”

Moses Dunn, a relative of George, sold ten acres of land, including the cemetery, to Indiana University in 1895, with the stipulation that the cemetery itself be reserved by the family. The most recent burial was of Marilyn Seward War-den in February 2004.

The cemetery has experienced damage and loss of grave-stones over the years. The markers for neither Eleanor Dunn nor Nancy Alexander can be found. There is occa-sional vandalism. In July 2008, two gravestones were bro-ken off and stolen. More recently, in September 2010, five gravestones were tipped over. In neither case were the cul-prits identified. Indiana University restored the damage in each case, even though it does not own the property.

Stinesville Town Marshal vs. the Liford Clan in 1916

By Bob Dodd

Origin of Dunn Cemetery, 1855

By Lee Ehman

LIFORD CLAN AND STINESVILLE OFFICER IN PITCHED BAT-

TLE—EZ DUNNING CLEANED AS USUAL—HIS ASSAILANTS IN JAIL HERE

Bloomington Daily Telephone, 1 August 1916

Town Marshal Ezra Dunning of Stinesville, who has been whipped more times than any man in this section of the state, lost another battle last night with the clan of Lifords which reside in the Stinesville neighborhood. While the Stinesville officer was properly cleaned he ended the festive evening by arresting three of the Lifords and bringing them to the Jones club where they will be protected from the piercing rays of the sun until the September term of court.

Ez in his official duties somewhat resembles a bull dog with an undershot jaw—plenty of nerve and absolutely nil as a fighter. Last night when the Liford clan did a Pancho Villa run into Stinesville Ez lived up to his past performances and after the streets had been thoroughly wiped up with him, he pinched his men and came to Bloomington with them. After which he called on his physician and was patched up.

According to the story of Stinesville citizens the Lifords filled up to their back molars with squirrel-booze and swept into Stinesville looking for Officer Ez, against whom they had an ancient grudge.

“Where is that blankety, blank, blank, kankety, blank mar-shal? I want him,” shouted Nick Liford. With more nerve than judgment, Marshal Dunning came to the front and dramatically remarked: “Here he stands.”

Instantly the battle opened. Nick Liford and Marshal Dun-ning fell upon each other and thirty seconds later Ernest Liford and Charles Liford also fell upon Dunning. It was a grand old fight and the Lifords were traveling the road to put Ez in the morgue when Millard Easton, Charles Dunn and a number of other citizens came to the officer’s rescue and subdued the fighting Lifords.

Marshal Dunning placed his three prisoners in an auto and they were driven to Bloomington by Ova Buskirk. This morning they were before Squire Bailey and each was placed under a $700 bond for assault and battery with in-tent to kill. They can not raise their bond and so must stay in jail until the next term of court.

The Stinesville citizens generally are back of Dunning and have employed Robert G. Miller as a special attorney to help prosecute. Dunning’s injuries consist of a bad scalp wound, a peeled nose and several battered ribs. He was able to be in town this morning.

How many times Dunning has been whipped has been lost count of by the Stinesville people. The folks up at that hus-tling village admire the nerve of their peace office and re-gard him rather as a grand old fighting bull dog whose teeth do not meet.
